Architects for
Adaptive Reuse,
Community-Led Housing
& Civic Strategies
We are Incremental, a cooperative architecture studio specialising in the transformation of community assets, ecological homes, and collective housing across Bristol and Wales.
We challenge the norms - one plan or building at a time - to create a better future for us all - you, the community, the planet, and our future together.
Are you a Social Enterprise or Community Asset Developer with an existing building?
Are you a Community Land Trust or Local Authority looking to build homes?
Are you part of a regeneration team looking to develop a plan or engage a community? or a community group looking for a co-designed vision?
Are you a Private Client looking to build sustainably?
Are you a community group or CLT looking for early support? Applications are open for our next Free Initiator Design Session.
Key examples of our work:

“Incremental has developed original practical and deliverable solutions to challenges we face as a community and pushed us to aspire and prioritise areas we hadn’t before.”
